Yeah, I know it isn't officially a Christmas movie, but the events of the movie do happen during the Christmas season.

And let's face it, anyone who dumps enough toxic waste to fill a lagoon, is a slumlord who owns half the firetraps in Gotham City, flushes his own business partner down the toilet, plots to steal the city's power with a huge capacitor disguised as a "power plant" and throws his secratary out the window deserves to be on this list of Christmas assholes. Or any list of movie assholes for that matter.

Wow, spoken like a true sociopath, Graystreet. Hey, while we're at it, why didn't Harry and Marv just shoot Kevin in the face and then rob his house? I mean, his parents were well off; they could just make another kid, right?

When you think of it, everyone who WASN'T Albert Mouse in "'Twas The Night Before Christmas." Basically everyone is trying to stifle his opinions! It's not his fault Santa Claus had thin skin.

And I agree on Farkus....but what about the Santa Claus in ACS? And his elves? Which may not count to me cause they wound up being funny...as the elf reminds me of my uncle. And even as a kid, Ralphie eating boot was always funny to me.

Damn, even the characters who didn't appear on-screen in Home Alone were assholes.

Maybe his son was the asshole. Probably some spoiled brat who didn't appreciate what an awesome dad he had.

he was kind of being an asshole to his son by not talking to him

Marley "The South Bend Shovel Slayer" (Roberts Blossom) was certainly not an asshole.

Buzz: You ever hear of the South Bend Shovel Slayer?

Cousin: No.

Buzz: That's him. Back in '58 he murdered his whole family and half the people on the block with the snow shovel. Been hiding out in this neighborhood ever since.

Buzz: Not enough evidence to convict. They never found the bodies, but everyone around here knows he did it. And it will just be a matter of time before he does it again.

Cousin: What's he doing now?

Buzz: He walks up and down the street every night salting the sidewalks.

Cousin: Maybe he's trying to be nice.

Buzz: No way. See that garbage can filled with salt. that's where he keeps his victims. The salt turns the bodies into mummies.

Of all the Home Alone characters mentioned, no one mentioned Uncle Frank or Buzz.

Actually, Pesci was less of an asshole than his partner in crime, Daniel Stern. Daniel's character was all about leaving a "calling card" at every house they robbed. So what does he do? He clogged people's kitchen sink drains and left the water running in hopes that the name "The Wet Bandits" would catch on. Robbing people is one thing, but giving them all that water damage on top of it for no real reason? Now that's pretty assholish... even Pesci's character thought so.

I think Kevin (Culkin) thought they were after him. Which they pretty much were (they had to do SOMETHING with him, after all; they didn't bother with masks, so it stands to reason that they were probably going to kill him anyway).

Believe it or not, I've never seen "It's a Wonderful Life"... just bits and pieces of it here 'n there. I know it's a classic 'n all, but it's just one of those movies I've never gotten around to seeing. So yeah, that's why Mr. Potter wasn't included on my list. I was simply listing my personal favorites from the Christmas movies I've seen.

Thanks for the comments though everybody, glad you enjoyed the list!

They go to France for Christmas, that's the whole plot of the movie, if you decide to fly to a creepy european place for Christmas, something bad is likely to happen. I've seen Hostel, obviously, they hadn't, but I have.

The oversight of Mr. Potter from It's a Wonderful Life renders this list null and void.

I'd also tack on the Abominable Snowman and Joe Pesci in Home Alone.

Hey, how about the mayor from "The Year Without a Santa Claus"? How that man can honestly be in charge of a town is beyond me!

Or nearly every character in "Rudolph's Shiny New Year"--what sick 'tard has the nerve to laugh at a baby?!?? I mean, sure, his ears are the size of the Hubble telescope, but would you want someone laughing at YOUR deformities?!?? Huh?!?? Would'ja?!??!?? If you ask me, Rudolph shouldn't've gone rescuing Happy--let those jerks stay stuck in 1976!!!!!!

Heck, even the prosecutor (or maybe he was one of the cops; forgot his name, anyway) from "Santa Jr." Not only does he try to have Santa's son imprisoned, but he has the nerve to act like a stereotypical middle school shy kid when on a date with that lawyer woman (forgot her name too)! I mean, really--he was just so cheesy with that date. It's laughable, but not intentional comedy.

Judge Reinhold spends a lot of time trying to convince Scott Calvin that he's not Santa and trying to indoctrinate Calvin's son in not believing in something that we as the audience clearly know is true.

You can go with the abominable snowman from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. However, like most bad guys he was misunderstood. After a simple dental operation, he was nice as can be.

Scut Farkus, ah yes the asshole everyone loves to hate.
Probably why it was so funny when the got the everloving crap beat out of them.

Scut Farkus is a name that simply screams asshole.

I was hoping for MS. Crock from Screwed.

She was stone cold. She almost sucked out Norm McDonald's soul and made him wear his dead father's tux(which she took off his dead body during his burial).

Back in high school. My School put on a production of "A Christmas Story". I ended up playing Scut Farkas for 3 of the five shows. During one performance we put on for some kids coming in from a few neighbouring elementary schools, we got to that whole Ralphie beats Scut scene. Well, during that part, the script called for me to give him a facewash (using some snow from a recent snowfall that happened around that time). Well, the dude who handed me the snowball had packed it way too tight, almost an iceball but not quite. So i ended up busting his nose open (Blood on the stage, his costume, some unfortunate children sitting up front). I guess most of the kids thought that it was part of the show because we got some claps and cheers as he stood there, looking pissed off with blood running down his face. So we finish the scene, and i go backstage. And i notice the stage manager panicking over the spilt blood and the poor guy playing Ralphie not realizing that he had been bleeding for the past minute and a half.

Good times, Good times.
